Application Notice to Local Municipality

The Alcoholic Beverage Control Law requires that, in connection with the submission of certain types of on premises alcoholic beverage applications to the State Liquor Authority, the new applicant (or the licensee-applicant in the case of a renewal) must provide a 30-day advance notice to the Local Municipality that such an application is being submitted.

The 30-day advance notice requirement is intended to provide Local Municipalities with an opportunity to make their views known to the State Liquor Authority.

Recent legislation directed the State Liquor Authority to develop standardized forms by which a new applicant (or licensee-applicant in the case of a renewal) may provide notice to the Local Municipality that an alcoholic beverage license will be applied for.
